I have to agree, messy characters are way better to read. Sometimes I just don't have the strength of willpower to actually write out the bad consequences and then it flops. Something to work on!

Definitely! I've found that writing out the bad consequences can be kind of fun...painful, but fun. Or maybe that's just me.


Trying to figure out how to get them out from under those consequences is a little less fun...but worth it. :)
